The American West was a far away place to a young girl, only ten
years old, living in a small town in Massachusetts in 1947. She had
no idea of the changes to her life that would happen after her
parents sold all they possessed and turned their old Chevy in the
direction of the setting sun.
Watching from her backseat window, this child witnessed not only
the unfolding of scenery across the United States, east coast to
west coast, but slowly developed awareness of the struggle her
family faced to provide daily needs in a world of strangers where
newcomers were viewed with suspicion. With no work or prospect of
it, knowing no one in the far west, her mother and father became,
in effect, like the pioneers of a previous era, searching for a
place to settle that would satisfy them.
A coming-of-age story told through vivid memories of her
experiences and the persons she encountered along the way, Cricket
in the Grass relates a child's learning of self-reliance.
